The Mid-Rivers cable television line-up includes a local Community Channel in 18 towns in Central and Eastern Montana. This channel is offered to keep community members informed about upcoming community events. School functions, fund-raisers for community projects, church functions, sports schedules, and school lunch menus are aired on the Community Channel at no charge. These free ads can be aired on one system for up to 30 days.

Commercial ads, business ads, political ads, "Happy" ads (birthday, anniversary, etc), and scrolling ads can also be run on the community channels at a very affordable rate. Ads on the Community Channel show seven-days-a-week, and each ad will appear once every 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of ads on each Community Channel. If you would like additional pricing information for the ad channel, please email mrcom@midrivers.coop or call 1-800-452-2288.

The Community Channel also displays a constant scroll of the current local weather conditions in your community. If you would like to place an ad on any of the Community Channels, please e-mail your ad to mrcom@midrivers.coop , visit your local Mid-Rivers Service Center or call 1-800-452-2288.
